Execute a quick task with GSD guarantees (atomic commits, state tracking) but skip optional agents

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

Connect ahel once, and every AI you use reads what you have installed.

Then ask your AI: use the gsd-quick skill

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by coco-research/coco in systems/gsd/skills/gsd-quick/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Quick mode is the same system with a shorter path:

  • Spawns gsd-planner (quick mode) + gsd-executor(s)
  • Quick tasks live in .planning/quick/ separate from planned phases
  • Updates STATE.md "Quick Tasks Completed" table (NOT ROADMAP.md)

Default: Skips research, discussion, plan-checker, verifier. Use when you know exactly what to do.

--discuss flag: Lightweight discussion phase before planning. Surfaces assumptions, clarifies gray areas, captures decisions in CONTEXT.md. Use when the task has ambiguity worth resolving upfront.

--full flag: Enables the complete quality pipeline — discussion + research + plan-checking + verification. One flag for everything.

--validate flag: Enables plan-checking (max 2 iterations) and post-execution verification only. Use when you want quality guarantees without discussion or research.

--research flag: Spawns a focused research agent before planning. Investigates implementation approaches, library options, and pitfalls for the task. Use when you're unsure of the best approach.

Granular flags are composable: --discuss --research --validate gives the same result as --full.

<execution_context> @$HOME/.claude/get-shit-done/workflows/quick.md </execution_context>

Context files are resolved inside the workflow (init quick) and delegated via <files_to_read> blocks.
